1. GLOBAL FOOD ALLERGENS AND INTOLERANCE TESTING<br />
– MARKET OVERVIEW<br />
1.1. REPORT SCOPE & DESCRIPTION<br />
Consumers are displaying immense attention in knowing food ingredients <strong>and</strong> safety of food<br />
products they consume. This heightened trend is being growing at an alarming rate forcing food<br />
processors <strong>and</strong> retail chain to adopt favorable policies that help consumers evaluate their food<br />
choices. The dem<strong>and</strong> for food labeling regulations which m<strong>and</strong>ates displaying ingredient types<br />
such as source of origin; natural or artificial, GM or Non GMO, country of sourcing <strong>and</strong> any<br />
health risk advisory statements is increasing. These macro trends are driving the dem<strong>and</strong> for<br />
food allergen <strong>and</strong> food <strong>intolerance</strong> testing <strong>market</strong>.<br />
The <strong>Food</strong> allergen <strong>and</strong> food <strong>intolerance</strong> testing <strong>market</strong> has been segmented into different<br />
segments such as by type, by food products, by test type <strong>and</strong> by geography exclusively. The<br />

milk, egg, peanut, wheat among others. The <strong>market</strong> is also segmented in to food product types<br />
such as baby food, bakery products, dairy products, grains & nuts <strong>and</strong> others. Each of these<br />
segments is analyzed in depth to provide a comprehensive analysis of food allergen <strong>and</strong> food<br />
<strong>intolerance</strong> testing <strong>market</strong>.<br />
Based on the end product category types of tests used vary for both allergen <strong>and</strong> <strong>intolerance</strong><br />
testing. The report provides detailed breakdown of various types used exclusively for allergen<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>intolerance</strong> testing. The overall <strong>market</strong> is also presented from the perspective of different<br />
geographic regions <strong>and</strong> the key countries in each region. Competitive l<strong>and</strong>scape for industry <strong>and</strong><br />

2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY<br />
<strong>Food</strong> Allergy <strong>and</strong> Intolerance are the adverse reactions produced by the human body to certain<br />
type of foods. Both of these cause same symptoms <strong>and</strong> can be confused to be similar. <strong>Food</strong><br />
allergy causes the human immune system to produce antibodies in reaction to certain type of<br />
foods, whereas <strong>Food</strong> Intolerance is less severe <strong>and</strong> does not cause an immune system reaction.<br />
The problem of the <strong>Food</strong> Allergy has become more severe with the rise in number of people<br />
seeking out for immediate medical help in case their bodies react to certain foods. This is<br />
primarily due to the “hygiene hypothesis” <strong>and</strong> excessive cleanliness being followed in the lifestyle<br />
of public, especially during childhood.<br />
The dem<strong>and</strong> for accurate label on <strong>Food</strong> products has hence increased, making it m<strong>and</strong>atory for<br />
food manufacturers to perform allergen analysis of their products. The <strong>Food</strong> Allergen Labeling<br />
<strong>and</strong> Consumer Protection Act in USA requires the food manufacturers to specify the labels of<br />
food containing eight major food <strong>allergens</strong> i.e. milk, fish, egg, shellfish, tea nuts, soya, pea nut<br />
<strong>and</strong> wheat. This requires a proper allergen analysis of the products providing a comprehensive<br />
analysis of the extent of allergy that the product ingredient can promote.<br />
The Global Market for <strong>Food</strong> Allergen <strong>and</strong> Intolerance Testing is estimated to reach $266.3m in<br />
2020 from $125.1m in 2013.<br />

There has been frequent increase in the number of people suffering from food allergies. In USA<br />
the growth rate of people suffering from allergy has increased by more than 50% since 1990s.<br />
Governments are working to combat this problem by formulating new regulations on food<br />
safety <strong>and</strong> labelling. The EU’s new food regulation 1169/2011 needs companies to label out the<br />
ingredient name, their specifications <strong>and</strong> net quantity on the product. All the companies have to<br />
comply with this regulation by December 13, 2014. These changes will hike the <strong>market</strong> for food
allergen analysis <strong>and</strong> the number of tests from $125.1 m in 2013 to $266.3m in 2020 with a<br />
CAGR of 11.4%. North-America constitutes the major share currently but the EU region is<br />
expected to exhibit rapid gains in the next few years.<br />

Globally the top 8 <strong>allergens</strong> account for more than 90% of the test types done. Wheat is the<br />
dominant allergen type. Due to the high number of people with celiac disease gluten free test are<br />
the dominant types. Gluten free foods are in much dem<strong>and</strong> in the recent past due to growing<br />
awareness of consumers. The other dominant types globally are Fish (predominantly in U.S. <strong>and</strong><br />
Europe), Peanuts, Milk, egg <strong>and</strong> others. People in different geographic regions are susceptible to<br />
various <strong>allergens</strong> depending on their gene pool <strong>and</strong> genetic disorders. Allergens such as sulphites,<br />
celery, molluscs, Lupin have prominence in regions such as Europe, Australia <strong>and</strong> New Zeal<strong>and</strong>
